A broad reading

Hillary often discusses the unfairness built into the healthcare system: That discrimination by race and gender is barred, but that insurance companies are allowed to discriminate against the sick.

Today in Lorain, though, she either scrambled the line, or upped the ante:

"I actually think that it's unconstitutional, what the insurance companies are doing," she said.

In her only event today before the event, before an upbead crowd in a high school gym, Clinton didn't open new fronts against Obama, or particularly signal where she'd be putting her focus tonight. She did return to the criticism of his mailings about Nafta, though.

"I got a little hot" in Cincinnati, she recalled, saying that she objects when "Senator Obama's campaign sends literature to you in the mail that is false, misleading, and has been discredited."

(FactCheck.org didn't love Clinton's Nafta mailer either, and the bitterness between the campaigns over it reflects in part two candidates whose records really aren't as anti-trade as Ohio Democrats would like, nor as clearly pro-trade as their rivals would prefer.)
